Yorkshire Water Services Limited is undertaking preliminary market engagement ahead of a proposed procurement for the CM3640 Networks Emergency & Resilience Framework. We are seeking to broaden our supply chain and work collaboratively with suppliers to strengthen wastewater delivery capacity. We would like to understand what would enable suppliers to work with us, provide reliable resources and build additional capacity. We particularly welcome interest from organisations not currently working directly with Yorkshire Water, including specialist contractors and SMEs. Suppliers may express interest in individual activities or end-to-end delivery. We are open to exploring alternative delivery solutions, including separating activities within end-to-end delivery to enable more specialist suppliers to partner with us. The proposed framework will supplement existing contractual arrangements, supporting proactive and reactive work, including emergency response, through four proposed activity-based lots. The descriptions below are indicative and non-exhaustive. They outline the activities currently envisaged for each lot and do not represent a finalised scope: Lot 1 — Civils support: Excavation, sewer repairs and lining, ironworks, manhole refurbishment, backfilling and reinstatement. Lot 2 — Non-civils support: Sewer jetting and cleansing, recycler services, CCTV surveys and associated operational labour. Lot 3 — Process and pumping: Rising main repairs and pumping support, repairs after rising main, temporary overpumping, testing, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (MEICA) support, and reporting. Lot 4 — Mitigation and tankering: Wastewater tankering and temporary mitigation measures supporting incident response and operational continuity. The scope, activities and interfaces between lots will be refined through market engagement and development of the procurement. Activities may be added, amended or allocated differently between lots. Through this engagement, we wish to explore: Supplier capability, geographical coverage and additional resource availability alongside existing commitments. Mobilisation times, emergency response capability and opportunities to develop capacity. Direct delivery, subcontracting and partnership models. Commercial arrangements, planned work packages and advance notice that could improve resource availability and pricing. Barriers to participation, including whether requirements for end-to-end delivery could limit specialist supplier involvement, and how alternative delivery arrangements could enable suppliers to participate and commit resources. Interested suppliers are invited to help shape the scope and develop a practical delivery approach. Feedback will inform the detailed requirements and procurement approach. This notice is for preliminary market engagement. Participation does not guarantee an invitation or appointment under any future procurement, and non-participation will not prevent suppliers from responding to a subsequent tender. Yorkshire Water has not committed to proceeding with the procurement. The final scope, estimated value, duration and procurement approach remain subject to confirmation.

Indicative Timescales The current indicative programme anticipates award of the Stage 1 Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) in August 2027 and the Stage 2 main construction works contract in May 2028. These dates are estimates and remain subject to procurement outcomes, programme development and the necessary DCMS approvals. The anticipated duration and completion date of the Stage 2 construction works have not yet been determined. These will be developed during Stage 1, or as part of the formation of the Stage 2 contract, taking account of the appointed contractor's proposed construction methodology, interfaces with the specialist Bridge Contractor, wider programme dependencies and seasonal landscaping requirements. Proposed Procurement and Delivery Approach DCMS is considering a two-stage appointment for the Principal/Main Contractor, comprising an initial Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) for Early Contractor Involvement, construction planning, buildability review, supply-chain engagement and development of the construction price, followed by a separate commitment to the main construction works. The proposed scope includes enabling works, demolition and reconstruction of public toilet facilities, hard and soft landscaping, relocation and reinstatement of Grade II listed structures, coordination of memorial installations with the appointed artist, and integration of the separately appointed specialist Bridge Contractor. DCMS is considering a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, incorporating an initial assessment of supplier capability and a subsequent tender stage. The proposed arrangements include coordination with the Bridge Contractor during pre-construction and its intended subsequent novation to the Principal/Main Contractor, subject to agreed contractual arrangements and approvals. The proposed approach remains subject to market engagement and DCMS governance approvals.

This market engagement questionnaire is issued in accordance with Guys & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) procurement and governance procedures. The issue of this questionnaire follows GSTT approval to engage with the market to gauge capacity and interest for the procurement of the GSTT Ward Refurbishment programme. As one of the UK's largest and most successful NHS Foundation Trusts, GSTT leads in healthcare innovation and excellence. Centred in London, the Trust incorporates five hospitals, each with a rich legacy of clinical brilliance and pioneering research. The hospitals include: - Guy’s Hospital; - St Thomas’ Hospital; - Evelina London Children’s Hospital; - Royal Brompton Hospital; - Harefield Hospital; - Associated Community Sites. The GSTT Ward Refurbishment Programme covers ward refurbishments across the above GSTT estate, aimed at ensuring the Trust’s estate remains fit for purpose, and best placed to ensure the continued delivery of clinical excellence now and into the future. The Ward Refurbishment Programme will adopt a tiered, risk-based scope, enabling investment to be proportionate to clinical, infrastructure, and statutory risk. The final scope for each ward will be confirmed following detailed surveys, risk assessments, and cost modelling. This approach allows the programme to prioritise highest-risk interventions while maintaining affordability and operational continuity. As such, this procurement exercise will need to incorporate a degree of flexibility, and centres on the development of a long-term partnership essential to ensure the successful delivery of this important programme. The key Trust objectives underpinning this procurement exercise are: - Ease of use – GSTT are currently delivering a significant number of construction projects across the GSTT estate. These appointments need to facilitate the ease at which these projects are delivered. - Equal Opportunity – the tender should provide equal opportunity to all suitably qualified tenderers and does not restrict SMEs and smaller local suppliers. - Flexibility of Value – successful tenderers should be able to be appointed across a range of construction values. On this basis the contractual and pricing mechanisms should allow flexibility to suit different value bands. - Flexibility of Scope – the tender should allow flexibility to potentially support wider clinicalspace refurbishment projects across the Trust (excluding specialist areas such as theatres, cath labs and major medical equipment programmes which will require separate procurement routes). - Social Value – the tenders should promote genuine social value for GSTT and the local environment. - Continued workflow – the tender should facilitate the continued instruction of work with a permanent contractor presence on site, although this will not be guaranteed. - Speed of delivery – GSTT require a procurement mechanism which will allow access to the market at the earliest opportunity. Whilst specific work scopes are to be developed, the works are likely to include general ward modernisation, ventilation upgrades, building safety compliance works (including Building Safety Act Gateway 2 applications where required), and integration with existing specialist systems (building management systems, nurse call, medical gases, security, fire alarms, data and IT).
